Well thanks to @georgeandizzy ‘s blog post and a Facebook promotional coupon, last night I found myself buying the Puppet Show pattern ;-). My girls fall in separate size ranges but since Olivia has all of Ellie’s old things to grow into, I only got the larger size. Once I finish my Easter sewing (Library Dresses for the girls and a Bistro dress…[Read more]

Yes, that’s the one.
Link button doesn’t work for me either but the copy/paste does. -

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago@cybele727 …. can’t do the link or attachment either.
Maybe we should ask @FrancesSuzanne to do tips on heirloom sewing AND internet stuff. One of them is a graphic designer and can rock the web! -

When I click either link or reply nothing happens.
I truly think the internet is part voodoo, part magic and for me, most of what I try to do is jinxed 🙂 -

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoThe hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

Deb replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoWhenever possible, I use the tucked hem method on O+S patterns. On occasion, I’ve made 2 tucks on the hem and added embroidery on one of the tucks.
I’d like to see pin tucks on the Lullaby (onesie). You could figure out how much width to add to the front pieces saving me the effort (LOL!) because as you know my sewing room is in dispose.

Hope that helps!

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years agoSome time ago, I had the honour of arranging accommodation and a venue for classes given by Gail Doane and Susan O’Connor. The duo were doing a sort of “Thelma and Louise” tour across North America in Gail’s suburban. Lucky me, they chose to put Toronto on their route.
I got to spend a whole week taking classes with Gail and what a wonderful…[Read more] -

I think the texture of the pie crust would be better if it was frozen prior to baking. I use this recipe:

Linda, what size and length of circular needles do you recommend to use with a sock weight yarn. The DNP’s are driving me crazy! I’ve got an easy pattern, it’s just the needles that are problematic.
